Description
For Me – a bronze lily on deep blue
Wall art bends one bronze flower across a deep blue field and hangs it from a long thin stem, petals turned downward: abstract painting in all but the single motif, because the blue behaves as empty space rather than as a background. Gold and silver planes and a ribbed quarter-circle sit along the stem.
Technique and texture
The blue is smooth and matt with no texture at all, which is what stops it reading as a wall behind the flower. The metal planes are worked in leaf that has been creased, so they are never evenly lit. The flower is the only modelled paint on the canvas, moving from near-white to dark brown.
The motif
The head hangs and does not open upward, and that gives the whole canvas its bowed, settled posture. The stem is drawn in a single pass and thins toward the bottom edge until it nearly disappears. The geometric additions are placed off-centre and none of them repeats a size.
Setting and placement
A dark blue ground swallows light, so this one is at its best on a pale wall where its own edge finishes cleanly. The metal planes give it a pulse under a directed lamp — a dining room, a hallway, a study.

Height, stretcher and delivery
For Me, the bronze lily on deep blue, is painted in 14 upright sizes from 40 x 95 to 180 x 420 cm. The slender lily belongs on narrow walls: beside a wardrobe or a door 40 x 95 or 50 x 100 cm is enough, over a console about 90 cm wide the two-thirds rule gives 60 x 120 cm, and a stairwell or long hallway can take 80 x 185 or 90 x 210 cm. Pick YES under Stretcher and the deep blue canvas arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame around the lily is up to you: the Frame menu opens at Without frame, and the gold and silver leaf holds its own without one. Delivery takes 15–45 days.
This bronze lily painting is hand-painted on canvas, and the flower, the blue field and the creased metal leaf are not printed.
